Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Edward III, who reigned in England from 1327 to 1377, despite the coin being issued in 2008 and bearing the name of Queen Elizabeth II. This is because the British Virgin Islands, where the coin was issued, is a British overseas territory and still recognizes the British monarch as head of state.
